Summary:
Celiac disease is an important cause of primary malabsorption
syndrome mostly in moderate climates. Histologically
is characterized by atrophy in small intestinal
mucosa, clinically by symptoms of malabsorption – steatorea,
loosing of waight, anaemia and weakness. Celiaka
is also precancerosis, because it tends to formation of
intestinal lymphoma and also other malignancies in
gastrointestinal region. For the diagnosis and screening
of the disease except clinical appearance and laboratory
findings, antibodies play their important role. For most
cases, biopsy from deep duodenal endoscopy is enough
for the diagnosis. Jejunoscopy play its role in duodenal
diseases that imitate celiakia by their histological picture,
and also for the diagnosis of complications, mainly of
intestinal lymphoma.
Key words:
celiac disease – jejunoscopy – intestinal
lymphoma
